Accuracy and Specs

I was looking for a good bike computer to replace my Cateye Dual Wireless. I liked the capabilities of this computer and wanted to replicate them as closely as possible. The description matched my requirements and I ordered it. Although I've had it for a few weeks, I was only able to install it on my bike yesterday (01/19/2021). I read the instructions and found the instructions too short and not very clear. I finally got the basics set up, connected it to the sensor and went for a (very cold) ride. Concerned that the speed (hence the wheel size) was wrong, I quickly confirmed this, but continued with the long-awaited ride. When I got home I put the bike inside and spent the better part of a very frustrating hour going through the setup process many times, including doing the factory reset 3 times. The problem was that I couldn't set the wheel size. After further research on the internet and YouTube, I finally got my wheel size determined and am now very satisfied. The size and combination of readings are great and even the temp gauge seems very accurate, although it took me most of the first ride to get what I think is an accurate reading. I look forward to adding many more miles when the weather permits. I know a lot of people are switching to smartphones for tracking and such, but I really like the connected bike computer and know these details while riding. Again, my only real complaint is the clarity of the installation and setup instructions.
